I never see more the example of racism than here in this subject. I have heard it call "sour grapes" by some and i think that describes what is being here. The world economy (yes - even in u.s.) is now GLOBAL. Some should take a college class in entry level economics to get better understanding of this. Do not blame Chinese for building a quality at cheaper price. Please remember the 1970's in the u.s. automobile industry to remind you of low quality and company employees demanding huge salaries despite little education and poor craftmanship. I learn in schol at that time of how many in u.s. question quality of Japanese auto - now look at them!!!
If you're going to be a troll, you should at least learn how to become a good one.
The reason why the quality of the Japanese autos at that time was under question was because it wasn't too long before when the mark "Made in Japan" too often meant "cheap piece of junk". The Japanese invested the time and effort starting in the 1950s to improve their quality control and although even in the early 1980's Japanese manufacturing costs were still substantially less than those in the US, they had by then
earned the reputation of producing product that was equal to, if not in some cases superior, to North American or European product.
Like in post WWII Japan, the main attraction right now to mainland China is the cheap labor, even by East Asian standards. Instead of whining about 'sour grapes' and 'racism', your time would be better spent working on quality control and process improvement.
